Comment from Joy Graham
Well done on this contest entry. Congratulations in placing in the final results. This is a fun conversation to read between you and your beloved potted Palm. I lack a green thumb, but try to keep house plants. I have kept a jasmine plant alive for a few months now, and hope it will flower for me some day. crossing my fingers, toes, and nose.

I think this is a good entry for the 'Dying Houseplant' writing prompt.
Your story about your wilted palm is clear and well done.
Good luck to you with the competition.

Comment from Nancy Tremblay
I hope he lives! I thought your story was adorable. Not unlike my potted palm that has been somewhat temperamental with me. You description ,how you wrote your conversation was really good. I could picture everything in my mind as you told the story.I enjoyed your tale of the dying palm....and just to add, I bought a companion plant for my sickly palm, he didn't make it!

Hi there,
Seeing yourself in a houseplant is certainly a little obscure but hey if it works, it works... lol
Short and sweet, technically sound.
All the best

Nice to read it. Very tiny but calm to read. I love the writers' expression and feelings mentioned in this small poem based story. Keep going. Thanks.

Comment from Debbie Pope
I love, love, love this. Seriously, after I stopped laughing, I would award this a six star review if I had one. ""My dear little potted palm." That is too much. And the way that you empathize with you knee going out. Priceless. I like that you end with a hopeful, well thought out solution. I will keep the three of you in my prayers.

Comment from karenina
I am so sorry....I like your write well enough....
It's just in a world on the brink of nuclear war a writing prompt about why a dying houseplant needs to live strikes me as trivial....
That being said, you did it proud!
May we all get this impassioned in the pursuit of peace!

Thank God you took my tongue and cheek review as intended. :)

Comment from tfawcus
You have used the potted plant rather cleverly here as a metaphor for the poet's own circumstances. One can only hope that the second palm, introduced for companionship, will prove to be compatible.
